Things Unknown (2013)
Not Bad!
I found this movie under the title "Things Unknown" on Tubi.
I know everyone wants something different in the horror/SciFi movie world, but all in all this was a pretty decent movie. The mindless banter in the first half just set the atmosphere for the rest of the movie: paranoia, friendly albeit aggressive exchanges, all set up a friendly camaraderie between the characters. I myself enjoyed the "cheap" special effects along with the moving shadows and camera angles. Sometimes you don't need to see EVERYTHING in 3D. Often it's the shadows and angles that spook you the most.
A fun watch! Go for it!
Jing xin si yu (2021)
A Wonderfully Romantic Affair
I am not familiar with the male and female leads of this movie -- their history, their TV and movie work. But I think all the players in this romantic drama of the Xu family are wonderful. The Sword and the Brocade takes place in China somewhere in the distant past, but the story could take place any time. Simple love, simple conflicts, nothing you have to dig for to understand. I recommend it highly.
Motives (2004)
I thought this was really good!
This movie was a lot better than I thought it would be. A surprise ending I didn't see coming. I thought all the intimate scenes weren't necessary--but I guess a "relationship" needed to be established. Otherwise, I liked being pulled into their world.
Mafiya. Igra na vyzhivanie (2016)
I'm Surprised at the Bad Reviews
With most horror stories being cookie cutter versions of each other, I found this a refreshing change. The countdown to "who dies next" and "how they die" kept me interested until the end. Great special effects and a different approach to "countdown" movies, I think you should give this one a chance!
I Am Wrath (2016)
I Am Tired
This is John Travolta on slow mo. Sorry, but I was dissapointed to see how sluggish this movie was. It was like the actors were moving through molasses. The action and dialogue were pretty pathetic. Sorry but a waste of time.
